The last time I was in Liverpool (a few years ago now), I visited the Radio City Tower to see the views over the skyline of the city of Liverpool. The Radio City Tower is officially known as St. John's Beacon and functions as a radio and observation tower. It was built in 1969 and is 138 meters tall. As the second tallest building in Liverpool, there are amazing views to be enjoyed, especially on a clear day.
Originally, there was a rotating restaurant at the top of the tower. In 1979, the capacity of the restaurant was reduced and a "Buck Rogers" theme was introduced. This did not do too well, and it closed in the early 1980s and was left empty for many years. The tower was refurbished in 1999 and opened as Radio City 96.7 radio station in 2000. Currently, it functions as an office and rooms for the radio station and an observation deck for visitors to enjoy the view. The revolving aspect of the building has been locked in place.
I recommend a visit to Liverpool's Radio City Tower if you happen to find yourself in Liverpool on a clear day with an hour or so free to enjoy a trip to the top to see the skyline.
